Paige was INCREDIBLE, seriously the best money we spent on our wedding (up there with the open bar :D)! She was so sweet, organized, prompt, and efficient. She remembered things we had mentioned once and then completely forgotten about, she kept all our vendors in line and on time, and took the stress COMPLETELY off of us on the day. It was such a huge relief to know that, as I was getting my hair and makeup done in the morning, Paige was already there making sure set up was going well. Throughout the evening, no one ever asked us for anything and if there were any hiccups we didn't hear about it. The day was even better than we imagined and we know this was in large part because of Paige. She went above and beyond, always with a smile on her face.

Paige was a life saver for our wedding! I've never met anyone so on the ball, organized and genuine. She was quick to respond to any concerns regarding planning for my husband and I's wedding, and went over and above her duties. On the day of our wedding when our florist made a mistake regarding my wedding bouquet, Paige went out and purchased new fresh flowers and worked with the florist to make sure we were compensated for the error. With a situation that could have stressed out any Bride, Paige handled the unpredicted issue with total professionalism, keeping myself and my family calm and stress free. Paige was flexible, kind and dedicated to not only making our wedding run smoothly, but filled with special touches that made the day enchantingly memorable for us, our friends and our family.

Christen & Michael, Married April 10, 2015

Paige and her team were so incredible leading up to and especially on the day of our wedding. We felt as though they handled every detail with great professionalism and heart. Paige made us feel reassured that we could trust her with all of our details. She showed passion, positivity and was so organized. Spotlight Event Planning & Design went beyond their duties to assist us and our family in every way. We are so grateful that they were a part of our big day and we would highly recommend them for any event.

Paige was an amazing wedding coordinator. She executed all of our wedding selections perfectly and handled any issues that arose confidently and efficiently. She really put our minds at ease. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and to understand our vision for our big day. Thanks to her hard work, we were able to thoroughly enjoy our wedding day, knowing we were looked after. We hired her as a day of coordinator but she went above any beyond and was involved in our wedding pretty much from the time we hired her. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone seeking a wedding coordinator. She is truly gifted at what she does.
